Question 1 of 5

A client who has Graves' disease is prescribed methimazole. Which of the following effects should the nurse expect to see after the client has taken the medication for 2 months?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Increased sleeping. Methimazole is an antithyroid medication used to treat hyperthyroidism, such as Graves' disease. After taking methimazole for 2 months, the client's thyroid hormone levels should begin to normalize, leading to a decrease in symptoms associated with hyperthyroidism, such as increased metabolism and hyperactivity. One common symptom of hyperthyroidism is insomnia, so as the thyroid hormone levels normalize with the medication, the client may experience increased sleeping due to improved regulation of their sleep-wake cycle. Weight loss (choice
A) may occur due to decreased metabolism, not increased metabolism. An increase in pulse rate (choice
B) and warmer skin (choice
D) are symptoms of hyperthyroidism, which should decrease with methimazole treatment.
